This pair of Etnies is for my friend Chenoa. All she wanted was a king crown somewhere on the sneakers large enough to get noticed. She and I both wanted to put the crown on the outside of the shoe but there was already a factory printed, large logo of the classic Etnies "E" which compositionally would have been distracting and extremely busy. I decided to put it on the instep which was plain and boring. They didn't take very long to paint and they actually did not come close to representing my sketches, but I'm happy with the turn out and more importantly Chenoa liked them as well.
